CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: N/A

Due to the challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions caused to in-classroom teaching, we have decided to temporarily suspend the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University. That means that we will not be offering this program in 2022. Nonetheless, several courses, including GAME WRITING and GAME SCENES, have been incorporated in existing B.A.s, M.A.s, and Masters at IULM University, and we will soon debut new game-related initiatives.
